SAFETY RULES
All the recommendations contained in this document must be applied and respected.
(1) Always use the batteries with restrictive access. Battery must remain
accessible only to trained service personnel.
(2) Install in a location that could be easily ventilated in case of misuse of
batteries such as described below.
(3) Misusing the batteries may cause them to overheat or ignite and cause
serious injuries. Make sure to follow the safety rules listed below:
Never short-circuit the battery terminals
Do not reverse the polarity
Do not overcharge or over-discharge
Respect the voltage range given in this manual.
Do not open the battery or modules
Do not disassemble the unit
Do not use the unit without its electronic management system
Do not subject to excessive mechanical stress
Do not expose the unit to water or condensation
Install the batteries in an area compatible with pollution level 2 according
to EN 60664-1 (typical of office or laboratory environments).
(4) Do not place the batteries on or near fires or other high-temperature locations
(> 70°C). Doing so may cause the batteries to overheat or ignite. Using the
batteries in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a
shortened life expectancy.
(5) Immediately disconnect the batteries if, during operation, they emit an
unusual smell, feel hot, change shape, or appear abnormal in any other way.
Contact SAFT if any of these problems are observed.
(6) Prior to use the batteries, read carefully the Material Safety Data Sheet
supplied with the batteries.
(7) The battery systems must be used with the Synerion 48E modules described
in paragraph 2. Saft does not assure the behavior and the safety of the
battery system if another module is used.
(8) In case of contactor stuck closed (Alarm 18 rising), stop immediately the
battery charge or discharge.
